"In addition to all of Mary Shelley’s compelling supernatural stories, Beyond Frankenstein also features an original story by renowned science fiction author Michael Bishop, which serves as a narrative introduction." [end]

Thus 16 among the 25

Volume 1 also contains (15) "On ghost" per WorldCat --probably "On Ghosts"

Gutenberg Australia

Goodreads: "On Ghosts is an essay written by Mary Shelley, first published in London Magazine (March 1824)."

Kirstin Mills, Australia [1] "... In her essay “On Ghosts” published in the London Magazine in March, 1824, Mary Shelley questions “is it true that we do not believe in ghosts?”"

Catherine Redford, UK [2], quotes "The King of the Cats", as presented by Shelley as told by M. G. Lewis

Thus, an essay --journalism?-- in which Shelley reports that she has never seen/felt a ghost; presents two modern instances from reliable sources; and concludes with story "The King of the Cats" by M. G. Lewis.
